Senate. The Senate will not vote to confirm President Biden's nominees, choosing instead to further destroy the country in the same manner they are presently helping destroy the country by supporting Trump's continuing attempt to overthrow our democracy and the US Government.

So President Biden will first have to immediately fire all of Trump's criminal appointees, which President Biden has sole and full executive power to do, without any Senate interference.

The President can then immediately fill his administration with the acting officials of his choice, and the Senate can't do a damn thing about it.
